Seriously if you can make sure send some more rep towards Dux, Noobas and Prophet for the amazing stuff they've been doing. I thought I'd do a tiny little preview of my own work to fill the gap and cater to those who want to know a little about the background, so may I present the House Hoare faction Bio. (Yes I know it's not as pretty as pictures)
After the annihilation of House Greyiron by the Andal settlers, House Hoare was given the Seastone chair of the Iron Islands by the kingsmoot. However, rather than returning to the ‘Old Way’ the Hoares declared the title to be hereditary, causing tension within the islands. Ever since, the Ironborn have been raiding along the Western coast of Westeros seizing whatever they wish at the cost of the Iron price.
The current High King is Qhored Hoare, some even go so far as to claim that he is the avatar of the Drowned God himself. A born leader and widely considered to be the greatest captain to ever ply the seas, the Iroborn have entered into a new Golden Age under his rule.
Leaving his heir at Orkmont, Qhored and his second son, Dagmer Hoare, have taken the bulk of the Ironborn forces south, seizing The Arbor and conducting raids along the Reach’s coasts. However Dagmer’s recent capture of Sunhouse, and his drowning of the entire household, may have been a step too far, provoking House Gardener into calling its banners against the Ironborn. In the North, Terrence Blacktyde has split his forces into two, sending a small force to garrison Bear Island whilst the he leads his soldiers to the Rills. From these positions the Ironborn can launch raids against both Stark and Bolton forces whilst both are distracted by each other. For the first time the Ironborn can truly claim to that all the western coast of Westeros where the salt of the sea can be smelled or heard the crashing of waves are under their control. However, whether they can hold their territories remains to be seen.
Once again rep the three guys, the stuff they've done in the time frame is absolutely fabulous.
